Theories
| Theory | Citations | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lie detection can only detect lies that a person is intentionally making. If they believe what they say is true, the ability will not be triggered. | None | + If this ability could detect any lie universally, it would have to have some form of access to a 'magical objective truth', which has not been seen in the Heroes universe. + BTE has confirmed that the ability works by analyzing the lie being spoken, the voice, the reactions of the person who says the lie. |
| Lie detection would be ineffective if used against a telepath. | None | • If lie detection is related to telepathy, then attempts to detect lies told by a telepath could cause the 'feedback' effect experienced by Matt when he tried to read his father's mind.
|
| Lie detection works by scanning which parts of the person's brain are active when they speak. | None | + When a person lies, a section of the brain which handles imaginative thinking becomes active. Lie detection could simply 'go off' whenever the user detects activity from that part of the brain in conjunction with other body language signs or micro-expressions. |
